And he narrated himself from start to finish.\nJhanas are meditative bliss states and they traditionally require thousands of hours of practice. But Stephen Zerfas and his team at Jhourney are changing that—creating retreats where most participants hit a Jhana in their first week.\nDan Shipper went to one of their retreats earlier this year, and it was by far the best he’s been to.
